USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Salton Sea dominates the northwest corner of this Imperial Valley landscape, its 1943 water level recorded at 241 feet below sea level. This wartime survey by the Corps of Engineers details an intricate irrigation network essential to the region's desert agriculture, including the Alamo Canal, Vail Canal, and numerous lateral branches designated by letter and location. Unusual geologic and industrial features dot the shoreline, such as the Mud Pots and Dry Ice Wells near Niland, alongside Mullet Island and Red Island.
